Description:
Widmann's Quintet is a deliberate tribute to Mozart's work for the same instrumentation (KV 452), both of which can be easily combined. In contrast to Mozart's classical forms of movements, Widmann composed 18 short miniatures some of which bear evocative titles while others bear musical-theoretical titles (e.g. 'Verwunschener Garten' (Enchanted Garden) or 'Kontrapunktische Studie' (Contrapuntal Study]). Traditional and contemporary playing techniques alternate in the musical texture. Therefore, in conjunction with the pointed style, this piece is also suitable for demanding educational purposes.
